For starters, the image you found would not work (out of the box), you'd have to substitute the uboot, kernel,etc. But it's also not worth the hassle as the image is very outdated at this point. Now the good news is that Lenny is working on a new debian image (with drm and mali) for the Pinebook - whether it will be done by the time you get your PB or not, that I don't know. So, if you would want debian TODAY on your PB then you would have to build an image yourself using ayufans stuff, and then install XFCE (or whatever DE you prefer). Don't know how knowledgeable you are, but this is beyond what most users are capable of doing.
edit: minimal image refers to ubuntu without a DE just CLI. You can find the minimal image here (as well as other stuff such as simple image for building (?), i3 image, mate image, etc.) ... if you don't mind ubuntu, and want XFCE then this may be the easiest thing temporarily.
OK. As of today I would use the ayufan-pine64 image you linked. Thanks.
